Salomon S/Lab Genesis

Very versatile trail shoes : short distances, muddy or dry trail...The genesis does it all. I feel like the sole is "fragile" because rocks mark it easily .

Now it's time to give an assessment, after using these for a few hundred kilometers in different conditions. The best thing about the shoes is the fit and cushioning. At first, the split arch rubbed, but I changed to a different type of insole that doesn't rise up at the arch of the foot. Now they fit like a glove. Very comfortable on the foot and I haven't had any problems even on longer runs or in challenging terrain. You can "lock" your foot well into the shoe and your foot doesn't get crushed even when running in the forest. When running on the road, the cushioning is very pleasant, which allows for long road sections. Another plus is the weight of the shoe and the fact that it doesn't add much weight when it gets wet. The materials also seem durable and the sole studs and upper material haven't worn out even worse. If you're looking for something negative, the grip on wet trails is noticeably worse than with VJ shoes. Of course, the VJ sole material wears out faster. I bought these shoes as long-distance shoes for variable terrain (rogaining, trail running) and they fit perfectly.

The sole is suitably hard, the shoe is a bit wide at the front, but that hasn't been a problem.

Perfect for my feet, saved my running trip with Achilles and heel problems. I went to the store to get something more sturdy and cushioned instead of/on top of the Salomon slab ultra3 shoe, but with a similar last. Thanks to the seller, he knew the solution right away and also convinced me to choose the right size, the same size as the others, although the shoe felt a bit big and wide in the ball of the foot when trying it on. It worked very well on the terrain. The only downside is the appearance...

Credit shoe on the trails.

Great shoe now that I've broken it in. Good fit and fairly stiff. The sole has good grip even on slippery rocks. A credit shoe for the competition.

I've now worn these for about 300km and they've been absolutely brilliant. No signs of wear. My toes don't even sweat much in these. They're wonderfully ventilated. The sole size seems to be suitable, but my nails still get a little sore on 40-50km runs. I don't know if I should have gone for a bigger size, although they seem to fit.
